Look at my ENTIRE lizard again. #LizardPosting #LizardsOfMastodon #BlueTongueSkink #Chonk

Setting up this shot, I put the tape out, then put the food down, assuming Chonk would walk alongside the tape, and give me a good shot for scale. He immediately grabbed the body of the tape measure in his mouth, and we had a tug of war over it. Eventually I had to distract him with the food, and put the tape down AFTER he started eating.

A blue tongue skink sitting on a grey doormat, next to a plastic container lid containing a meal of pumpkin, chicken, blueberries and rocket. Next to him, is a retractable tape measure, laid out to show the scale of the lizard. He is approximately 45cm long.

Neighbour is outside shirtless and looking like he's roasted
I've seen Peking duck that looks less crispy

Ok, time to pack Cthulhu and his bunny

A plush Cthulhu sitting on top of a plush cartoon rabbit, like he's riding the rabbit. It's all sitting on top of a computer speaker

@SeaFury you lot should just leave and join New Zealand 😛

@sinituulia that last one is adorable

We're doing this again

Hmm, having a second dose of propranolol in the day seems to mess up my thermoregulation

@xssfox how do people still not understand that?

Book I was listening to last night was setting up a really interesting fourth installment, with secrets that were going to come out, complex relationships, possibly even some cool history of the setting
The decided to cancel all that for an utterly bullshit deus ex machina ending. It made no sense

@troberts "we're going to tackle intergenerational inequality"
Murdoch media: "oh no you're not" :blobcatknife:

@coolandnormal it's on there now and level. Next problem will be getting it off the pallet

I think this feels dodgier than it actually is
